The camera downgrade should not be acceptable in this price segment. Clearly they just want to sell more Xperia 1 V's with triple camera. Shame, I thought Sony was one of the last companies that make good phones with no compromises.

Has anyone tried any gcam with the Xperia 5 v to tell us the results?

"The Night View, if triggered, adds additional 1s or 2s to the 4s needed to capture a regular photo. Yes, no matter if there is a Night View or not, the Xperia 5 V needs about 4s to capture a photo. The only indication for the Night View you will see in the Basic mode is the change of color (from white to orange) of the Moon button on the viewfinder."
This is the one thing I dislike about my Xperia 5 II, using Auto mode (regular camera app) taking a photo with imperfect lighting means the subject usually has to stay still for several seconds. Surely Apple devices and others don't require this? Ok the photo may not be the most perfect result but it would be better to allow taking a quick photo? I understand the Pro camera options are there so shutter speed etc could be manually adjusted but we don't always have time to do this.
Other than this I really enjoy the Sony phones and will look to upgrade probably to this model.

"The Xperia 5 V never became hot, warm - yes, but never uncomfortably hot."
When gsmarena saying a phone getting warm you should consider it will get hot in real life.

Sony why don't you let me take 50mpx photos with my 50mpx camera? This won't dent your camera sales that much. I already have your compact camera and I rarely use it because it's never with me.
Ideally why don't you make a 1" 80mpx sensor that shoots at 20mpx. This won't make a dent in your camera sales and if you're that worried about just use it on your phones only, then you'll at least sell a phone for every camera not bought.
In the meantime I will be returning your phone, I will consider purchase again if you add the 50mpx shoots and will definitely buy the next variant if you make a phone that shots 20mpx.

Nesegull, 09 Oct 2023Is it possible to use two Sim cards and SD cards at the sam... moreHi! Yess, it's possible, because you have a tray with space for a traditional nano SIM and another one for the SD card. You can also use one or more e-Sims ! Once you have installed them, you can activate one of those e-Sims in a few seconds🙂

I want this phone. To be honest, my Samsung galaxy S22 ultra is to heavy and too big. And I don't like the Exynos 2200 chip, it's bullshit.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 I'm sure is way better basec on the ranking list. And sony is almost better than most phone brands, at least. It's a bit expensive though but not far to expensive...

QUESTION; is the actual screen that you look at smaller because of the bigger bezel or is the phone wider to accommodate the bezel? I am guessing some manufacturers count the bezel as part of the screen.

I was bit disappointed on 5 V as i was expecting shrunken 1 V and for 1000€ and the fact i tend to use the same phone over 3 years or longer if it's updated longer, but 5 V falls bit short to get my money.
So it's down to one upcoming phone for this year to gain my wallets trust.
